Western Powers Determined On Disarmament Plan
Washington, Nov. 8.
The Western Powers will continue to urge United Nations approval of a "foolproof" disarma- ment plan despite Russia's quick rejection, Ameri- can officials said today.
The rejection, voiced by the Soviet Foreign Minister, Mr Andrei Y. Vyshinsky in Paris, was anticipated here.
There is no prospect of imme.. diate comment on Me Vyshinsky's counter proposal to call a world disarmament conterence before next June 1.

Officials pointed to President Truman's statement that any nation unwilling to agree to an international inventory and in spection of milltary stores and forces "is not really interested in disanament."
SURPRISE PACKET
Points of differences as seen here are:
1. President Auriol propused an immediate meeting of the heads of State of Russia, America, Britain and France.
Vyshinsky proposed a ve Power conference to con- clude a nan-aggression pact, thus making it clear that the status of China is still a major factor dividing East and West.
2-The Western Powers pro- posed international control of atomic weapons with inspection, disclosure and verification, but clear
Mr Vyshinsky made it that Russia takes its stand on total prohibition.
3.The United Nations pro- posed that the cease-fire line in Korea should be the line of battle while Mr Vyshinsky ad-

COMMENT OF THE DAY
MR
Contemptuous
R Vyshinsky has made it perfectly clear that he has no intention of permitting Russia and the Western powers to move closer together on the question of securing world peace. His vitriolic dismissal of the programme put forward to the United Nations General Assembly by the United States, Britain and France was so unqualified as to make reasonable discussion of the proposals impossible. Mr Vyshinsky regards the Big Three plan for a UN inventory of national military forces and armaments, and gradual inter- He national disarmament as a joke. possesses & peculiar sense of humour. The problem of keeping the world's peace is no laughing matter and the Soviet Foreign Minister certainly does not raise his own dignity by dismissing constructive suggestions designed to encourage universal harmony and good- will in such a manner. The essence of the Big Three plan is that the whole question of disarmament and control of atomic weapons continues to be the responsibility of the United Nations. Mr Vyshinsky acorns such an idea, thereby automatically, repudiating the authority of UNO to which Russin, as a member, originally subscribed. The Soviet counter-proposals include the calling of a world conference of the United Nations members some time next year to study "effective and substantial reduction of arms generally and the prohibition of all atomic weapons." It is a high sounding proposition but it ignores the one vital prerequisite that United Nations mombers be willing to declare the strength of their armed forces and the quantities and types of their armaments.Without this information a United Nations conference would be -helpless. and could not possibly deter

fact that Russia no longer has any respect for the authority vested in the United Nations Organisation and that she does not consider herself bound either by the terms of the Charter or by any majority decisions reached by the UN in their deliberations on inter- national affairs. This explains the Soviet attitude when meetings of the General Assembly, the Security Council and UN committees are held, but it makes no contribution to progress in resolving world problema. That Russia seeks to weaken the authority of the United Nations is illustrated by Mr Vyahinsky's suggestion that the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China should evolve 2 peace pact the conditions of which should be followed by all "peace-loving peoples." Herein lies a calculated endeavour to side-step the United Nations; to impose on the world an agreement concluded only by five powers, one of which is not even a member of the United Nations. Neither the United States, Britain nor France, as responsible members of UNO, could agree to any such procedure. The establishment and consolidation of world
peace must remain the responsibility of the United Nations Organisation. It was created primarily to fulfil this function and its powers cannot be usurped. The General Assembly -will undoubtedly give a re- sounding "no" to Mr Vyshinsky's four- point plan, for it is not a serious attempt to bring peace to the world, but a deliberate challenge to the status of the United Nations Organisation. It is now beyond hope that the current Assembly session can unify to any degree the divergent viewpoints of the Communist blod and the Western democracies, but Mr Vyshinsky's speech has at least removed" any remaining doubts about Russia's complete contempt for UNO its charter, ito authority and its responsibilities.

Tokyo, Nov. 9. The Communist Peking Radio said today that the Reds were agreeable to final revisions of the demarca- tion line, apparently clearing the way for a speed-up in the truce negotiations in Pan Mun Jom.
A "responsible" member of the Communist delegation was quoted in a special interview as saying the Reds did not demand that immediate and irrevoc- able truce line be drawn before proceeding to the next item on the agenda.
